i have an all Rega system. the new Brio is a delight partnered with their RS1 speakers. all in with a DAC and their cables about $2,200.00 i think it sounds better than the 10K system i had 15 years ago. definite synergy. DAC's have not improved that much in the last 10 years. if Rega thought they could produce a better DAC since the DAR R they would have.
beginner seperate system
all the listening I do leads to crazy high prices. anyone out there that can do great high fi on a couple grand budget? I have nad 275bee bridged mono with focal aria 948. I would like to experiment with maybe a tube setup or a really reverby ss if exists. I have a couple rythmik 15 in subs that can do bass. have a few headphone systems that really have opened my eyes on sound. can hifi wonky/tubes be done with subs? and lowest entry point worth the money? would be great to find something under 5k that can play well with aria speakers.
